International Girls and Books
“Someone’s Story is a beautiful novel, written in great prose, very descriptive, and filled with insights about life. The author does an incredible job with themes of family, friendship, bullying, and personal development. It felt like I was reading a portion of my emotions and myself in Someone’s Story.”
Gobi Jane – Professional Critic @ Readers’ Favourite
In his debut endearing coming-of-age book, B.A. Bellec writes about a group of weirdos that find and save each other from the dark depths of their minds. Someone’s Story is literally Someone’s story, as in a first-person narrative of a teenager that calls himself Someone. As he struggles to find a new footing in a new space, we encounter the many ups and downs of modern teenage life, the difficulties that adjusting to adult feelings bring, and a few tear-jerking surprises along the way.
Littered with music, mental health, friendship, loss, meditation, advice, pop culture, and even inspiring an EP, there is so much nostalgia, inspiration, and depth here it is hard to absorb it all. Cozy up somewhere warm and enjoy!
Customer Reviews
Powerful and emotive
This book follows the life of Someone, a teenager with a missing past and an uncertain future. You are present throughout his highs and lows throughout the book.
This book reads like poetry and draws you into the story immediately. With the use of short and snappy sentences and poetic narrative, the author treats readers to a literary treat. As the main character takes on the challenges of high school, this book gives you an insight into the inner workings of his mind.
Philosophical, full of depth and meaning - the author touches on some important and highly emotive topics; mental illness, grief, drug use and the trials and tribulations of high school.
The conclusion of Someone’s Story is emotional and leaves you in a state of shock whilst at the same time hopeful and inspires readers that life is not done with any of us wherever our journey’s may take us.
Key quote - “To anyone living life in a fog, work to clear the fog. The clarity is worth it. Seeing for miles beats seeing right in front of you.”
